North Star Scouts participating in the North Star Scout Personal Achievement Program each select a path. Paths are a personalized grouping of requirements. Choice is an important element of the Scout Programs of Adventure Scouts USA. We developed different paths to enable each Scout to choose a path of interest to them.

There are five paths to choose from:

Science and Nature - which has an emphasis on Science and Nature interests,

Society and Family - which has an emphasis on Societal and Family oriented interests,

Self Expression - which has an emphasis on creative interests,

Sports - which has an emphasis on Sports and Recreation interests,

Balanced - which has parts of each of the four paths above in equal proportion.
